Rooting & LineageOS 16

Hi Folks,
I am not sure if you are aware, but there is a large list of GSI ROMs that will work on the One Max, including LineageOS 16 (Android 9)! Everything appears to work (not 100% about NFC) including the camera. Here is the complete list:
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
For some of these ROMs, you will need to install Gapps:
I recommend "pico"
https://opengapps.org/
Before you begin. DO A BACKUP FIRST!
The best method, after installing TWRP, and removing encryption is this:
1. Download/extract this LineageOS version:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/an...0-20190609-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avN.img.xz
2. Download ARM64/9.0 Gapps / https://opengapps.org/
3. Do a full Wipe.
4. Install the LineageOS image first. Pick Install Image > Pick LOS image > Select system partition
5. After image is done, go back to main menu in TWRP. Pick Install > Zip > Install Gapps.
6. Reboot, Setup Google Account, and restore your cloud backup.
7. Download latest Magisk app & Zip and install.
8. Refer to _cab13_ post. Towards the bottom on getting Magisk working with GSI Roms:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/umidigi-one-max-custom-rom-modding-t3942521
In TWRP, mount the /vendor and /system partitions to be able to copy files from one directory to another.
9. At this point, d'load a root checker app to verify prompts are working. You should now have rooted LOS16!

Encryption
After starting LOS and initial boot screen pops up w encryption, and says system UI keeps stopping.
Tries to encrypt the phone.
I formatted data and installed disable encryption zip after LOS image install
Any help appreciated

You need the `unxz` tool, and all you have to do is `unxz <file.xz>` and it will unpack it.

Gapps installation problem - LineageOS 16 + Oneplus 7 Pro

I'm trying to install the OpenGapps package for LineageOS 16 on my new Oneplus 7 Pro, but have a problem installing it.
First I tried the "open_gapps-arm64-9.0-micro-20190827.zip" package, but it told me its the wrong platform. Is it not arm64?
Second I tried to install the "open_gapps-arm-9.0-micro-20190827.zip", but gives me an error 70, saying I do not have enough space.
Maybe someone have a solution for this?
Thanks

Try MindtheGapps. I've seen this work for some.

Tried it. Still does not work.
I got it semi, but still not working. Seems like the problem is within the way the partitions getting handled. My old Oneplus 5t had a boot, recovery, system partitions. The new one includes the recovery inside the boot it seems instead.
Here's how far I am now:
1) Unlocked the phone
2) Installed TWRP
3) Install Lineage ( This overwrites the TWRP so you have to install it again )
4) Reboot straight from TWRP after flashing the Lineage... back into the Bootloader/Fastboot mode and install the TWRP again.
5) Boot back into TWRP recovery and now I'm able to install OpenGapps ARM64 version.
But after this I cant boot the OS anymore...

Still no luck. Tried many things now... but here's what happens:
1) Installing the TWRP
2) Format data partition and everything else
3) Reboot back into TWRP
4) Install Lineage ( At this point I'm able to boot into Lineage just fine )
5) Trying to install Open GApps at this point gives me:
Code:
# Begin Open GApps Install Log
------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------
# End Open GApps Install Log
INSTALLATION FAILURE: This Open GApps package cannot be installed on this
device's architecture. Please download the correct version for your device.
# Begin User's gapps-config
# End User's gapps-config
It says I need to install the ARM instead of ARM64...
But if I go back into the bootloader and flash the twrp and boot back into the recovery, I'm able to install Open GApps ARM64 just fine. Seems like a weird "device's architecture" detection problem in the Open Gapps or maybe it could be the TWRP... not sure...
Also after this it will no longer boot.
Kinda weird problem....

Don't wipe system afaik vendor LOS generates it's own, Also might be in the wrong slot make sure the slot changed when rebooting back to recovery to install gapps, I used MindTheGapps latest version from OP worked great.

Have not wiped the System and Vendor partition after I installed Lineage... It boots just fine... just not if I install Open GApps....
Tried MindTheGapps latest version, but still no luck.

Okay got it working. The problem was the A/B partition layout they have in this phone... Was not aware of this.
This article describes it pretty well: https://lineageos.org/Changelog-19/
So yeah this is what I did:
1) Boot into Bootloader/Fastboot mode
2) Flash the boot partition with fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-52-guacamole-unified.img
3) Restart into TWRP - Format the data partition and clean the system partition etc.
3) Restart into recovery TWRP once more to get the data partition ready
4) Now you can transfer the lineage-16.0-20190827-nightly-guacamole-signed.zip over to memory.
5) Now flash the zip file and let it complete. This will overwrite the boot partition with TWRP and replace it with Lineage's own boot/recovery image.
6) Now reboot into Lineage's recovery. Now select Apply update > Apply from ADB and send the "MindTheGapps-9.0.0-arm64-20190615_031441.zip" file to the phone with "adb sideload MindTheGapps-9.0.0-arm64-20190615_031441.zip" - You might have to confirm the zip file....
After this is done, the phone should be ready for use.

I am facing the same A/B slot problem with my Moto Z2.
After setp 5), did you let the lineage OS fist then reboot into recovery, or did you go straight to the lineage recovery?

Thank you so much for this. I finally fot it sorted. I did find that sometimes you have to ubplug the USB cable and plug it in again to be recognised, but I got it going. Goodby Google!!!!
I am using Gentoo Linux with adb to do this.

GSI AOSP Android 10
I've tried to open the GSI list you provided.
And I got confused which one do I have to download/pick and which file.
Do you have any recommendations for Android 10 stock AOSP?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers. :fingers-crossed:

arm64 a/b or arm64 bvn/bgn v=vanilla g=gapps

I’ve downloaded the arm64 a/b gapps and go. I’ll try it later. Then I will tell you if I find any bugs and then upload the logs. Where should I upload it?

I am using :
system-roar-arm64-ab-gapps.img from here
TWRP 3.5.0_9-1 SIDDK
ColorOS GSI
adb version Version 30.0.5-6877874
I can't make it run. It loops in opening screen RealmeME (white logo) not Yellow font..
I still can boot to fast-boot mode and call twrp recovery.
Somebody can help me?
many thanks in advance

hey i am using the stock color os 9 on my rmx1943 it similar to rmx1945 yiu think i could use the old stockboot file for it on sourceforge

i'm getting an error whenever i'm trying to flash keystore for rmui. what should i do @Siddk

everything fine with keystore make sure u using latest recovery & using A10 keystore

Ahh...booting into recovery even if i press system

@arksolitude is that because you are trying to install android 10 for realme c2? if yes...
1. download stockrecovery.img (or get the recovery.img from the zip file you've downloaded)
2. reboot to bootloader/fastboot
3. type in your computer "fastboot flash recovery (name of the file).img"
4. reboot (this will take you to stock recovery)
5. wipe data and reboot
this is from my experience but this should work

Question Anyone figured out how to flash a GSI on this phone?

I bought this phone because I needed a new phone desperately. I am used to using lineageOS on all my phones before so having it would be amazing, especially since I hate having Google spying on my phone

Yeah, just flash gsi rom as u would do normally

Hi, there's such a problem here, the touchscreen does not work on gsi firmware after the screen is locked, if the phone locks, or the screen just goes out, then the touchscreen stupidly no longer responds to clicks, and you have to restart, just like in twrp

Hi, I have such a question, I want to completely cut out all the system garbage from the firmware so that it can be installed via odin and there was no junk, since I just couldn't remove them from the off firmware, I think to do so, cut out all the garbage through the phone, delete all the extra folders, make a backup system and convert to img, and then flash through odin, will such an idea work?

Hi,
I tried the recovery in my m127g (u2). Though the recovery is actually for u3. As I haven’t yet found any working version for mine.
After I wipe, format data, it says, "Failed to mount '/data'." (attached photo 1)
After typing multidisabler in terminal, it says successful. (attached photo 2)
Any advice will be appreciated.

There was a problem I faced lately.
I had to flash my phone yesterday, tried to install the TWRP. The problem was internal storage not showing. Formatting and multidisabler doesn't help. Results in bootloop.
What works for me is installing OrangeFox (provided by you), formatting and typing multidisabler. Then use the method 1 here. Just for your information.
After installation it works fine.

Does this recovery work on sm-m127g/ds
Binary: u3
If yes what are the bugs for this model.
If no which one will work ?
